Fast zwei Jahre lang hat die Polizei gegen Jair Bolsonaro ermittelt: Nach Überzeugung der Staatsanwälte plante er nach seiner Abwahl mit Verbündeten einen Putsch.
Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's former president, has been charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government and leading a criminal organization aimed at destabilizing democracy. The charges stem from a two-year investigation by federal police, which found evidence of a coup plot involving allies after his 2022 defeat. Bolsonaro and 33 others, including former ministers and military officials, face up to 43 years in prison if convicted. His defense denies the allegations, while supporters advocate for amnesty. Bolsonaro is also facing additional charges, including embezzlement and election fraud, and has been banned from running in elections until 2030 due to spreading misinformation about the electoral system. The case is now under review by Brazil's Supreme Court.
